So you prefer being out of the office. Keep the gist coming. . .your job sounds interesting already.
Sorry I laughed dearie. I feel your pain, but that was just so unexpected and funny.
As for the hampers, I'm interested in the Danish Butter Cookies. . .pass those on

what a great way to start the new work year - yesterday my laptop booted with a black screen
same here o. came back and met 2 extra hampers. if i'd opened a gift items shop during this break, i would have made money.
lets see if i'll get any other before the month runs out
my sister, thank u jare for linking me with 'correct' people
anyway, think about the certification part and u never can tell what u'll get out of it. u sound brilliant already so CFA shouldnt be too hard. shebi u sabi calculate, cram formulas well well
people, let me work, ill give feedbacks later in the day. with what I'm seeing in ma outlook, na serious work today o
|Re: Welcome To My Office by oyb(m): 5:14pm On Jan 07, 2009
nah of course not, i mean do my own thing on company time.electrical engineer in downstream oil and gas. if contractors cut corners ( in this case with inferior quality or undersized cables) we'd have a fire hazard. thats what i'm looking out for at the stations
|Re: Welcome To My Office by debosky(m): 6:55pm On Jan 07, 2009
I get now oyb
what are you guys constructing with all them wires/cables? Fuel Stations? Fuel Depots?
Project seems to be dead in the water, the lady in charge seems to think it's best to change the strategy due to unforseen circumstances. Will likely involve less work on that for me, dunno if it's a good or bad thing though. Some extra stuff was delegated to me regarding a drilling project, minor stuff but every little bit counts I guess.
Had to conduct a well site monitoring visit this afternoon. Got lost along the way three times. That's what happens when you don't visit sites regularly. The lady who gave me directions no even try, and the site is so well hidden that you can't even ask people where it is cos noone is supposed to know.
Things were ok for the most part, harassed the operators for not segregating waste properly. I've discovered I need to extract the details of a November meeting from my head now. Which kain wahala be this? Madam said she was going to do it, but she had a brainwave y'day when she remembered she didn't do it. Of course knowing the drill I had to volunteer to do it else it wouldn't look like a case of 'taking initiative'. rolls eyes. I think I might need 4 coffees to extract this info.
My appraisal has now been set up for next week. Na so so eye service for the rest of this month now.
Again, not as high productivity as I'm used to - next week the engine should be running fully.

whats happening is a big NFR(non fuel revenue) push. petrol station - otherwise known as retail outlets- make money from avenues other tham petroleum product; typically be
operating/renting space to eateries/mini markets/banks.
in this case, a bank is deploying ATMs at several of our retail outlets. there's concern that the contractors installing the atms may be cutting corners on the powering of the atms building.nothhing big - but if one uses a 4mm cable where a 6mm cable should have been used, you get overheating cables and f you are really unlucky - boom . . .
sadly 90% of nigerian contractors work best with a supervisor looking ovr their shoulder, the corners they otherwise cut. . . i set myself up when my colleague suggested i vist one or two, and i began blowing grammrer about how its important to visit ALL the sites. i though they would be at most 5, the list has over 40 stations in lagos, the north, ibadan, etc.
seems like i may have to blow a diffrent kind of grammer. . .
i know the feeling of getting lost . . . for years i went to sites by public transport - as avoided driving in lagos( lastma, okada, police, area boys, mad danfo drivrs mad commuters) but last year, i got my long overdue 'function car'. the moment i got that , no way i could avoid using it. oga promptly stopped signing my travel expense sheets, and i could no longer escape at 5 with the staff bus. i've gotten used to driving around lagos - but i'm the butt of jokes over my calls 'hopw do i get to oworonshoki expressway from VI. . . )

Thanks guys, no henny popping tonight I'm afraid - I'm on call for emergencies so I need to be able to drive 24 hours a day till next Monday. Might have someone cover for me on saturday evening though so I can knock back a few cocktails with my peeps.
This NFR aspect sounds like the next big thing now - petrol margins are dropping/unreliable so you need new revenue streams.
Just came out of a marathon meeting - can't the birthday boy be spared some of this drama?
Oh well, Three more hours before the weekend, no one is seeing my brake lights in this joint tomorrow

Happy Birthday Debo. . .hope my gift is on its way to me
You don't work on fridays? Lucky you. Now that's how it's supposed to be,lol. What's NFR by the way?
I'm so tired right now, enough chasing today. The cash wasn't flowing in fast enough so I had to go out and get it. . .from Senate building (very crappy, confusing hallways by the way. They didn't even decorate for Christmas! ) to State house to FCDA, concluding at Maitama. Guess I was the official paper chaser today,lol.
To make matters worse, I was up late last night no thanks to NL so I got little sleep. . .my head kept aching and my phones kept ringing incessantly. I feel like going to Saudi to marry a fearsomely rich Arab and live the life of the independently wealthy touring the world in a luxurious yacht for the rest of my days
My boss has still got the back-from-my-long-break zeal and she ain't sparing no one.
Now I'm trying to tidy up paper work before calling it a day so I won't have so much to do tomorrow. But the day was successful though. . .got a few heavy cheques Good promises for tomorrow too. This thing is actually fun when you're getting lovely results,lol.
Wish the shares were going as fast. Oh well. . .win some lose some.

My dear, sowwy o. . . But First Bank should have a large customer base already na, as in, old money. Why would they be hustling for money now? Thing is, no matter how hard your bank pushes you guys if they don't offer something worthwhile all of this will be in vain.
As in, what new innovations have they come up with? Any new products? Better ways of attracting and keeping customers? Can they compete with the already leading banks out there?
If there's nothing new about First Bank, una go sweat die. Management has got to do a reasonable amount of work before sending y'all out to sell sell sell.
Banks don't actually expect you to hit their unreasonable targets. . .if you do,cool, but if you don't, just hit half of it and you'll be fine. But still. . .50 mil ain't no joke. . .

So sorry to hear that oyb, hope you're getting things sorted. This is why we need improved emergency response in Nigeria.
Well work has been hectic this week - team meeting on Monday, just heard I have a performance review late last week.
Fair enough, but I didn't even know what I had to do for the review. Only on Monday did I find out that I needed to fill out 'The Form'. Oga only remembered to send it to me late on Monday.
Imagine going for a review without even knowing what targets you're being reviewed against
Anyways, as a sharp guy, I merixed the form well well with enough big grammar and nice sounding nonsense.
Gave it to oga and she said it was pretty good, yarned some stories about how I'm loving the company and how everyone's so supportive and stuff and she bought it.
More importantly I blackmailed her to get like 20 training days for the year, but I don use my mouth cause wahala sef. Feeling efficient, I mentioned tasks that we should focus on this year, na so she talk say the tasks will be in my objectives.
Had a chat with the big boss y'day, I'm still an engineer at heart so i don't know if I want to do this environmental thing long term. He's gonna pull some strings and see if I can be switched. It won't be easy, but man, this is life - I need to be sure I get into the right spots early on.
TGIF - I get to vamoose early today! Oga is interviewing some peeps, so I'll be free to laze about as much as I want. Dang I forgot I have a three hour meeting thiss afternoon.

The session was all about getting a good PR activation coy that will manage the pre-ipo noisemaking. so many PR coys came with some boring presentations and meen, i nearly slept off. it was borrrring. rubbish english speaking chaps with no street background. i left the place when the grammar was getting too much.

Hmmmm, your jobs all sound hectic and so so interesting.
Well, there's nothing for me to report now, just mundane things have been happening all day:
Prepared quotations
Had a cup of coffee
Sent some emails
Had some bubble gum that made my cubicle smell so so fruity
Dollar price increase wahala with client
My operations boss gave me wrong information as per a request and when the poo hit the fan, he denied giving me such info. Thank God the music I had to face wasn't of the hard rock Genre.
Now I have a full blown headache from the coffee and chewing all that bubblegum
And I have to pursue one of these telecoms companies for a major project but I still feel so idle.
Can't wait to start all the real work. Then I'll come complain all about how hectic it all is.
|Re: Welcome To My Office by mukina2: 3:44pm On Jan 19, 2009
I cant say i am pissed but i feel like sniping her so bad it hurts.
how can she explain misplacing 3 weeks of hard work, its not enough that this project wants to send me to an early grave, now this misplaced it.
I hope i can finish the rest in peace, the deadline is around the corner, instead of two like i thought i have one only
na God go punish you for me, for giving me more work.
been here since morning lazing and thinking of where to get all that info from again .
Prof understands but i still have to submit something.
God help me

I just had a conference call with a global client,
it almost turned to a shouting match , when the board members from london saw they couldnt twist our arms to succumb to their wishes,
anyway we made our stand clear, things have to be done right,
at a point in time the silence in the room was as thick as a wet blanket,
im back doing my risk documentation,
i passed my manager's office and i saw him shaking his head over my files,
i smell trouble,
guy e get one fine girl wey i dey expect since make she accept my freind request,
u understand now why i desperately need to get to FB?
|Re: Welcome To My Office by debosky(m): 3:53pm On Jan 19, 2009
Just dropping a quick note here. . . .my own poo will definitely hit the fan if I don't complete stuff by end of business today.
Reporting deadline is tomorrow, but the guy who handled the data last year didn't leave me enough information to go on, now I have to try to figure things out myself.
Emails flying left right and center. . . people wanting me to make the call so if things screw up, it lands on my desk. No way I'm getting myself in that hole, I'l stylishly pass it on to madam later on.
Finally got myself a mentor now, someone I can use to pull me up through the organisation, always a good thing.
That aside, sandwich lady came late today, so I haven't had lunch (as usual) - working on an empty stomach is making me pissed off.
@ Muki
sorry dear, I hope she finds the missing project.
January 19th already and I haven't started working on the permit I need to get issued by end of first quarter? Forget anything like Vacation till March.

I like this thread. I think i will be a regular here. Alot of mature people here and thats a good thing!
As per my own office blues!
Let me not get into that now! Freaking hectic especially being a lawyer and you have this motion to file, complaints to listen to and draft for justice to be redressed, company filings at the Cac with those bureaucratic animals wasting your time, omoniles to fight with over land. In fact its not a easy job at all. I evny you guys working in a serene company atmosphere. You have no worries about bills, salaries, maintainance package and the rest. All you need is to start at 9am and close 5pm, browse nairaland and facebook all day, pretend as if your working, end of the month collect your salary.
Now that's the life!
|Re: Welcome To My Office by mukina2: 3:55pm On Jan 19, 2009
No i do not have a backup that was the first draft and since most of it was done by hand, i didnt bother and it was the most hard one.
take it easy
thanks i have seriously started praying she does find it

Stumptown Reptiles
Stumptown Reptiles is a snake-breeder in Sandy, Oregon specializing in specific breeds and morphs of ball pythons. They immediately needed a logo and business cards to be used at various tradeshows that were coming up, and eventually wanted a website.
After developing a logo I went ahead with developing the identity system that would be used on on the website, other tradeshow collateral, and social media.
The goal of the website was to allow people to see what snakes Stumptown Reptiles had available. Photos and information on each specific snake would be available and customers would be able to contact Stumptown Reptiles if they were interested in purchasing.

We've all thought about where we were when the world stopped turning on September 11th, 2001 at 8:46am EST. But more importantly, where were you on September 12th?
Credit: Natasha Japp Photography
I had set out on a cross-country drive for my move from Boston to San Diego. My then boyfriend (now husband) and I had left the east coast several days prior to cruise the northern route on our way out west. We had covered quite some territory come the early morning of September 11th, when he ran out to the car to grab something and a hotel housekeeper (ok, it was a motel housekeeper) told him to put on the news.
After a few hours glued to the television (and many calls to family and friends back east) we left Wall, South Dakota for Mount Rushmore, just a few miles down the road. Of course, the spot would not open, nor would any other National Park on the duration of our drive. We continued on.
It was the following day, September 12th, that the heavy dust began to settle not only in New York City, Washington D.C. and Somerset County, Pennsylvania, but also around the world. And while most people were battening down the hatches, locking up their homes and holding onto their loved ones, I was driving down lonely highways and eating at dreary rest stops.
Still, I was incredibly inspired. Almost every 18-wheeler we passed was plastered in American flags. Bed sheets painted with words of inspiration hung from overpasses and car dealerships used their big, obnoxious signs not to advertise a great deal but to offer words of support.
It was clear the world had changed not only because I Love Lucy marathons looped on our televisions or because I had developed a sudden yet unlikely obsession with NPR, but because the nation had suffered a tragedy not as individuals, but as one, and we had survived.
We survived in honor of those who didn't. We survived with new awareness of how fragile life can (and cannot) be. We survived for the overwhelming need to support those who had lost. And we survived, most simply, because we had lived.
While the 9/11 attacks are surely the most devastating world news event of my lifetime thus far, I fear they are not the last. Most recently, in response to the school shooting in my home state of Connecticut or the bombing of the beloved Boston Marathon (which I completed, ironically in 2001), the same questions remain.
How do we pick up the pieces? How do we pay due respect to the victims, but not let grief destroy the living? How do we teach our children about tragedy and loss but keep their perspective positive and healthy? And how do we remember the past but still move on with the future?
There are so many answers to each of these difficult questions that I fear sometimes they are best asked rhetorically. In the coming days, and years, every news outlet from tabloid programs to medical journals will try to answer them, as will I right now.
Do what I did on September 12th, 2001.
Drive on.

MSU women's soccer defeat Detroit Mercy 2-0
On Sunday, the MSU women's soccer team beat University of Detroit Mercy 2-0. After ending their two-game losing streak, MSU is now 3-3-1 in the season.
Sunday's win also marked head coach Tom Saxton's 250th win as the Spartans' head coach. Saxton has been the head coach at MSU for the past 26 years.
"I think this means I have been lucky enough to do this for a long time," Saxton said in a postgame statement. "However, it is all about the 2016 team today and they needed to win today heading
In the first minutes of the game, the pace of play dragged on compared to typical games the Spartans are accustomed to. MSU was able to keep the mostly in UDM territory during the first half, but the Titans didn't let up, causing MSU to turn the ball over multiple times.
In the 20th minute, the Spartans started to piece together their first goal of the game. Assists from both junior defender Madison Duncan and junior forward Jamie Cheslik allowed freshman midfielder Hannah Jones to score the first goal of the game, giving the Spartans the lead early on.
During the last seven minutes of the half, MSU was able to keep UDM from taking a single shot and kept possession in Titan territory until halftime.
The Titans came out in the second half playing with more urgency than they did in the first half, but MSU was still able to take four shots on the Titans in the first 10 minutes of the second half.
Cheslik sealed the deal for MSU in the 65th minute, scoring MSU's second goal of the game with an assist from Morgan McKerchie.
MSU will open up conference play on Friday when they take on Nebraska, 6-2, on the road. Game time is set for 8 p.m.

Investors we are a new disruptive start up.
Our vision of a closed loop food production system that grows food symbiotically in natural flow of plant and animal interaction seems a most appropriate definition of a dependable, controlled food production model, a transformation of the threatened field based traditional growing model. Using LED lighting our crops can be grown perfectly all year around, in a pesticide-free environment. We maintain that our model is FOOD 2.0 ! We are carbon neutral, NO GM, using 90% less water than traditional farming. We are completely isolated from the threats of Insect, chemical, and climate change, and we reduce the need to import crops or create food miles as our produce will be picked and delivered within hours.

Shirley Sherrod's introduction to the intermingling of agriculture and racism came when she was 17 years old, with an incident that changed the course of her life. And, after that moment, her life has been one defined by the fight for black-owned farmland. It's a fight that has included devastating racism, the biggest class action lawsuit in the history of the United States, and a high-profile firing from the USDA.
But Shirley's story taps into a much bigger one; she and her family are just some of the tens of thousands of black farmers who have been victims of institutional racism. This is a story about how those farmers lost ownership of millions of acres of land in the U.S., in part because of USDA discrimination. It's also a story of how Shirley Sherrod and others have kept fighting back—and, in some surprising ways, winning.

What do the restaurants of your childhood say about the place you grew up? In Jack Hitt's case, the Oysters Mornay and Escargots Bourguignonne of his Charleston, South Carolina home revealed a South attempting to be less… Southern.
This was the 1970s, an era in which serving shrimp & grits in a fine dining restaurant was about as chic as wearing your bathrobe out on the town. Fine for home, not for going out. Bu the fancy fake French food of that period tells us plenty about Southern identity—then and now. In this episode of Gravy, Jack Hitt digs through his youthful dining exploits to see what Baked Alaska uncovers about what the South longed to be and what it was.

When Alysia Burton Steele moved to Mississippi, she found herself drawn to the Delta. Something about it reminded her of her grandmother, who'd grown up in rural South Carolina. That observation would lead Alysia on a journey of discovery, seeking out the stories of elderly women of her grandmother's generation. Their memories often focused on food. And they painted a portrait of the Mississippi Delta that is usually missed by an outside world that focuses on the poverty, the racism, the hardship. In this episode of Gravy, the stories church mothers across the Mississippi Delta reveal a region of extraordinary generosity.

Black-eyed peas and collards. Fried chicken and peach cobbler. Customers at Delicious Southern Cuisine in Los Angeles come for these soul food staples, a taste that reminds some of their Southern roots. But: there's a different narrative going on in the kitchen… one with a Latino flavor.
When Southerners leave the South, their food comes too. Hence, the density of soul food restaurants in cities that were destinations for African Americans during the Great Migration, cities like Los Angeles. But there have been many other migrants to Southern California… And that makes for mash-ups of Southern food and other cuisines. In this episode of Gravy, Lena Nozizwe takes us to two restaurants that serve up an edible version of the demographic shifts of in their Los Angeles neighborhoods.

How is a region of the far north—Canada—intimately connected to a region 2,000 miles away in the Deep South? It's a story that begins 250 years ago, and involves both loss and reunification, the reconnection of a people with shared ancestry.
In this episode of Gravy, Simon Thibault looks at how a bunch of Acadians, the cousins of the Cajuns of Louisiana, came to understand their extended family through copious meals of gumbo, boudin, jambalaya and everything étouffé'd that they can eat.
This group of Acadians, some of whom have made a life in Lafayette, not only found a second home, but a second family in Louisiane. They've learned what it truly meant to be un bon cadien, and subsequently looked at their own Acadian identity, and how and where culture is transmitted through generations.

And what does their omnipresence tell us about the cultural cache of the South?

One of the more important places for the modern Southern (and American) diet may be... an obscure army base in Natick, Massachusetts. The Combat Feeding Directorate looks just like any other suburban office park, but it's an origin point for many of the processed foods that find their way onto our grocery store shelves. In this episode of Gravy, Anastacia Marx de Salcedo, author of "Combat Ready Kitchen: How the U.S. Military Shapes the Way You Eat," takes host Tina Antolini along on an investigation of how the military's food engineering research for combat rations has filtered down to the food we civilians eat.

While West Virginia may be known for resources like coal, the country once turned to this mountain state for a culinary staple: salt. Salt production started in this part of the Appalachian mountains in the late 1700s. It was an industry built on the backs of slaves, and one that proved destructive to the region's environment. Now, a seventh generation salt-making family is reviving the business. In this week's episode of Gravy, Caleb Johnson and Irina Zhorov bring us the story of one family's attempt to reconcile its salt-making past with a more environmentally and socially responsible future.

Ten years after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, how does the city's food reveal how the place has changed? This hour-long special episode of Gravy takes on that question, from what was eaten just after the storm to the stories of two restaurants that tap into the post-Katrina gentrification and marketing of New Orleans to the outside world.
In part one, we hear the personal stories of three New Orleanians, taken from blogs they kept in the immediate aftermath of Katrina. Food figures largely in their writing, and that food reveals residents who were already wrestling with what had irrevocably changed and what was holding true about their city. In part two: what does a once-bohemian wine store and restaurant in one of the city's fastest gentrifying neighborhoods show us about the cultural transformation that part of town is undergoing? Writer Sara Roahen brings us the story of Bacchanal and the Bywater. And in part three: was the post-storm resurrection of a beloved soul food restaurant in New Orleans uniformly a good thing? Reporter Keith O'Brien tells the story of the rebuilding of Willie Mae's Scotch House, once purely a local's favorite which now serves a growing clientele of tourists.
